A collection of thoughts and asides about life. And if I think of anything that needs to be mocked, it will show up here.
"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way."
--Bertrand Russell
Although I prefer "None of the above" as a ballot choice, Florida may soon add "I choose not to vote" to allow voters to express their feelings about politicians. If more people choose not to vote, than the next highest votegetter would win. With my "None of the Above" idea, no one would fill the office. And wouldn't that be a great thing: A Congress of Empty Chairs.
